MCX Gold and Silver Decline Ahead Of Key US Economic Data
Investors Are Waiting For Upcoming US Inflation Reports and The Next US Federal Reserve Policy Meeting Before Making Big Moves.
Gold and silver prices slipped on India’s Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) on Thursday morning. Investors are waiting for upcoming US inflation reports and the next US Federal Reserve policy meeting before making big moves.
MCX Gold (October Futures): Down 0.03% to Rs 1,53,710 per 10 grams. MCX Silver (December Futures): Down 0.39% to Rs 2,43,249 per kg.
Awaiting US Data: Traders are watching US inflation metrics—specifically the producer and consumer price indexes—to guess whether the Fed will change interest rates. Most market analysts expect the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged at its September meeting.
Global Market Split: While Indian prices fell slightly, international gold prices actually edged higher. A weaker US dollar made gold cheaper for buyers using other currencies, giving global prices a small boost despite rising oil prices and bond yields.
